[Bug 979477] Re: ttf-mscorefonts-installer installation popup and probable failure

[frednet]

I'm getting this error on 14.04 as well, ttf-mscorefonts-installer
actually downloads and installs fonts correctly but I still get the
error every time I log in. here's the install output and all seems ok so
I don't know what it's complaining about?

All done, no errors.
Extracting cabinet: /tmp/tmp4iY7wz.exe
  extracting fontinst.exe
  extracting Webdings.TTF
  extracting fontinst.inf
  extracting Licen.TXT

All done, no errors.
All fonts downloaded and installed.

Title:
  ttf-mscorefonts-installer installation popup and probable failure

Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Recently we see the following when ttf-mscorefonts-installer is
  installed, after accepting licensing terms, a popup appears with the
  following contents:

  The following packages requested additional data downloads after package
   installation, but the data could not be downloaded or could not be
   processed.
   .
   .
     ttf-mscorefonts-installer
   .
   .
   The download will be attempted again later, or you can try the download
   again now.  Running this command requires an active Internet connection.

  It happens repeatedly if you do  apt-get install --reinstall ttf-
  mscorefonts-installer.

  Something is wrong in the move of the download from
  /usr/lib/msttcorefonts/update-ms-fonts to wherever it is supposed to
  live now.
